|
<p>The <strong>symlink()</strong> function creates the symbolic link named by
|
||
|
|
<em>slink</em> with the value specified by <em>pname</em>. File access checking
|
||
|
|
is not performed on the file <em>pname</em>, and the file need not exist. In
|
||
|
|
addition, a symbolic link can cross file system boundaries.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If <em>slink</em> names a symbolic link, <strong>symlink()</strong> fails
|
||
|
|
with the [EEXIST] error.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A symbolic link path name is resolved in the following manner:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>When a component of a path name refers to a symbolic link rather than to a
|
||
|
|
directory, the path name contained in the symbolic link is resolved.<br>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>If the path name in the symbolic link begins with / (slash), the symbolic
|
||
|
|
link path name is resolved relative to the root directory for the job.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If the path name in the symbolic link does not start with / (slash), the
|
||
|
|
symbolic link path name is resolved relative to the directory that contains the
|
||
|
|
symbolic link.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>If the symbolic link is the last component of a path name, it may or may
|
||
|
|
not be resolved. Resolution depends on the function using the path name. For
|
||
|
|
example, <strong>rename()</strong> does not resolve a symbolic link when the
|
||
|
|
symbolic link is the final component of either the new or old path name.
|
||
|
|
However, <strong>open()</strong> does resolve a symbolic link when the link is
|
||
|
|
the last component.<br>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>If the symbolic link is not the last component of the original path name,
|
||
|
|
remaining components of the original path name are resolved relative to the
|
||
|
|
symbolic link.<br>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>When a / (slash) is the last component of a path name and it is preceded by
|
||
|
|
a symbolic link, the symbolic link is always resolved.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Any files and directories to which a symbolic link refers are checked for
|
||
|
|
access permission.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>symlink()</strong> sets the access, change, modification, and
|
||
|
|
creation times for the new symbolic link. It also sets the change and
|
||
|
|
modification times for the directory that contains the new symbolic link.</p>

<h3>Parameters</h3>

<dl>

<dt><strong><em>pname</em></strong></dt>
|

|
|
<dd>(Input) A pointer to the null-terminated value of the symbolic link.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The value of the symbolic link is assumed to be represented in the CCSID
|
||
|
|
(coded character set identifier) currently in effect for the job. If the CCSID
|
||
|
|
of the job is 65535, this parameter is assumed to be represented in the default
|
||
|
|
CCSID of the job.</p>

<p>This parameter is assumed to be represented in the CCSID, language, and

|
|
country or region currently in effect for the job. If the CCSID of the job is
|

|
|
65535, this parameter is assumed to be represented in the default CCSID of the
